Maybe it's because I'm approaching a certain age where I suddenly morph into a wise owl, but there seems to be a plethora of websites and articles asking what you would tell your younger self.

What about what your younger self would say to you? Surely that's far more useful.

I pondered this thought as my nearly eighteen year old daughter continues to enlighten me in the ways of juicing, organising oneself - find a place for everything - and the benefits of having meaningful conversations - you live longer apparently.

Am I just lucky enough to have a very driven, focused daughter. Or actually, is she fairly representative of a new breed of eighteen year old woman with a wealth of opportunity, knowledge at their fingertips and more to look forward to than getting wed and popping out sprogs, who could actually teach us older heads a thing or two.
